July 15, 2013

Quik Pick Express, LLC announced the acceleration of the roll out of heavy lift capacity at our Oakland facility. The Oakland facility was opened in 2012, initially with drayage, warehouse and trucking available. Since then, Quik Pick has added expanded warehouse services which include transloading capacity and specialized attachments. These include drum grabbers, slip sheeting and clamp capacity.

The addition of heavy lift capacity was planned for January of 2014. However, due to demand from our core customers on Southern California, Quik Pick moved up the schedule for Heavy Lift service to July 15, 2013. Heavy Lift service will include shipping container “side handler” lift and Hyster forklift capacity up to 40,000 lbs.

George Boyle, President/CEO, said that this additional functionality will greatly enhance our capabilities in Oakland and move us closer to providing the same suite of services that we provide in Southern California.
